36 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The JORGENSEN 70708 is a block plane priced at $23.98 with a 4.6 star average. It sits in the same well regarded JORGENSEN family as the popular 70700, but it is earlier in its review cycle, with just 36 reviews logged.
Demand is the stronger signal here: roughly 200 units sold in the last month clears our buyer floor and suggests steady interest even before the review count builds. The listing, however, publishes no specs, so material, weight, and blade dimensions are not documented.
If you already trust JORGENSEN block planes, the rating and recent sales are encouraging. Shoppers who want a deep review record may prefer the higher volume 70700.

Performance notes
With no published specs, performance can only be inferred from its 4.6 star average and 200 monthly sales; there are no material or blade figures to evaluate.
What buyers say
Early feedback is positive at 4.6 stars, and about 200 sold last month shows real demand, but the 36 review base is still small, so the average could shift.
